Dubai’s Best Photo Locations

My whole Dubai photography experience let me discover, after having lived in Dubai for nearly 3 years, that the city has more to offer than superficial judgments indicate and that is has changed over the last couple of years. Dubai is a futuristic city that looks like taken from a sci-fi movie and replicated in the real world. But it can propose so much more than architectural marvels and luxurious resorts. It only asks for true immersion and some effort to pay you back. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce some of the best locations around the city I feel true photography enthusiasts would enjoy.

I selected my favourite Dubai photography spots, including the ones that I have not personally explored yet. This list is going to be updated over time. More details about rooftop locations can be found in this article.
